224 You must die
Where is she going?
Luna re-entered the room and saw Meren's expression, she knew something might be wrong. Although she had tried her best to hide her panic, she could not control her curiosity. She was waiting in the corner outside the dormitory, watching Meren leave the dormitory, and then followed her. She wanted to see where the maid who had been with her for the longest, and what she was going to do.
Meren, who was already a little panicked, did not realize the tail behind her. She walked straight through the street, squeezed through the crowd, and finally entered a small building that Luna was not familiar with. However, even though Luna was not familiar with this place, she still recognized the sign in front of the small building.
Ailena Anti-Investigation Bureau.
The black letters on the small wooden sign were thick, like the shadow of death. Luna stood not far away, staring at the sign, stunned for a few seconds, and gently breathed a sigh of relief. She grabbed her skirt tightly with both hands, and the palms of her hands were covered with sweat. The passers-by who passed by her looked at her in surprise, wondering why this beautiful girl was wandering here.
"Teacher Luna!"
Someone recognized her. After all, Luna's class was very popular in night school. Luna looked over subconsciously, but found that she didn't know that person. She smiled at him a little embarrassedly.
"Teacher Luna, do you still have your class today? We really want to hear the stories of those great magicians!"
Since Gastens released the forbidden spell magic, Luna's class became crowded. The farmers and workers who came to listen to the class did not pay special attention to what she said normally, but were looking forward to her more than ten minutes of Q&A after the class. During that time, they would repeatedly ask questions about the Great Magician to try to understand the characteristics, personality, hobbies and style of the Great Magician. Luna knew where their enthusiasm for the Great Magician came from, so naturally she would not deliberately suppress it. On the contrary, she began to deliberately increase her Q&A time, and through her own introduction, she began to establish that the Great Magician was invincible in the world and could do whatever she wanted. And for these introductions, the students listened very seriously, and the emotions in their eyes gradually became fanatical.
Luna knew that kind of fanaticism. There were people like this in the Mage Tower, and there were people like this in the Three Gods Cult. It was just that the Mage Tower called such people a magic believer, and the Three Gods Cult called such people a crazy believer. She didn't know why these people became so fanatic. However, she felt that this kind of fanaticism was not a bad thing. After all, for the man closest to the Great Magician, he deserved such a believer.
"Oh, yes, yes."
Luna nodded, suppressing her panic. There was still class tonight, and she had to go to the office. Even if Melen sent the news to the Anti-Investigation Bureau, she was not helpless. In the days after the 82 massacre, she had been thinking about a method, a way to get rid of suspicion. Fortunately, a few days ago, she finally found this method.
“We will be looking forward to your class!”
Seeing that Luna didn't want to talk, the man left a sentence and said he hurriedly. Luna wiped the sweat from her palms and subconsciously touched the bag on her shoulder. No matter what, she had to finish the class.
——————————
It was almost ten o'clock when the night school ended. Because Luna's Q&A was too exciting, she exceeded the expected time for get out of class. At this time, most of the farmers around Ailena had fallen asleep, except for those who were still studying in the night school. However, those factories were still roaring. The war just ended brought great losses to Ailena. In order to fill these losses, Ailena activated almost all her production capacity. In these roaring factories, Luna's figure flashed past and disappeared into an ordinary small courtyard at the end of the street.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Luna, Martinez, the spokesperson of the Mage Tower Capitalist, was a little surprised. This courtyard was the base of the Mage Tower Capital he developed before. He told Luna, but he did not realize that she was back.
"I'll meet Mr. Hedland."
Luna said this again with a serious expression and straight body. Martinez was stunned when she heard this. Mr. Hedland, whom Luna mentioned, was one of the three big men of the Capital Division of the Mage Tower. It is said that his family has served three generations of great magicians and has always stood firm and the assets accumulated are immeasurable. After Luke Brewster's death, Rob Hedland had disappeared like the other two capital division leaders of the Mage Tower. However, unexpectedly, a thundercloud storm in Gastens completely alarmed him.
"How do you know Mr. Hedland is?"
Martinez looked at Luna with some bad thoughts. He has always been a target and contact person for the Mage Tower Capital Department, taking risks and enjoying benefits. The three big guys rarely have the interest to directly interfere in these trivial matters. Moreover, more importantly, Mr. Hedland came here this time to meet Gastens and talk about something, so how could Luna know about it?
"It was Mr. Hedland told her."
A strong-body lady walked out of the shadow of the courtyard. She glanced at Martinez, worried that he would think too much, and explained it again.
"Mr. I have a good impression of what you are doing. The reason I told Luna alone this time is mainly because she is the closest we are now to Gastens, and Mr. has always wanted to meet her."
"I see."
Martinez bowed and said no more. Luna glanced at him and said to the lady.
"I have something to see Mr. Hedland, and I hope Mr. Martinez can listen."
"Hold on."
The lady nodded at Luna, turned around and left. She appeared again, leading Luna and Martinez into the house in the middle of the courtyard, passed through several rooms, and came to an ordinary study. Rob Hedland, one of the three major players in the Capital Department of the Mage Tower, was standing on the side of the study, looking at the two of them with a smile.
"Little Luna, it's rare that you came to me on your own initiative. Is there anything wrong?"
Luna did not have much contact with these three big shots. Her previous contact with them was directly responsible for Luke Brewster's great magician and Brooklyn Arquette. She nodded at Hedland and made it straight to the point.
"We probably can't hide the fact that we killed Daisy."
Heldland frowned and Martinez's body shook slightly after hearing this. They all knew that this matter could not be kept forever, but they always hoped that this matter could be kept for a while. When the Mage Tower and Elena were already tied together, there was hope of living. However, reality is not always the same as the plan.
"Tell me."
Hedland sighed and sat down. Luna stepped forward and told her what she had encountered tonight one by one, and then, there was a long silence.
"... Killing Daisy was not within our plan, so naturally there was no complete plan when we started. You didn't expect such an obvious mistake in the sheets, and it was really..."
Hedland was a little disappointed. But he knew it was too late to say these things now, so he went to Luna directly.
"Luna, I know you're trying to get close to Gastens lately. How is it going? Can you help?"
Luna was shocked, knowing that her thoughts had not been hidden from the gentleman in front of her. However, she did not deny it, but just shook her head gently. With her current relationship with Gastens, it would be absolutely impossible to make Gastens forgive herself for killing Daisy.
"Then...it's not easy to deal with..."
Hedland's brows frowned even more. Although he was rich, his energy and influence had already declined by several levels after losing the protection of the great magician. What's more, among the emerging forces of Elena, he had almost no influence, but Lovena did not respect those forces outside him. If this matter really broke out, he seemed to have no good idea.
"Sir, I have an idea." Luna turned her head and looked at Martinez, pausing for a second. Hedland looked at her, waiting for her to continue. Martinez felt a faint chill.
"The murderer who killed Daisy was Martinez, not me. If we give up Mr. Martinez, maybe I can escape—"
"Luna!"
Martinez looked at Luna in surprise, his eyes full of incredible. Luna did not respond to him, but just looked straight at Hedland.
“…”
Hedland didn't say anything, but just pondered for a moment before coming to the conclusion.
"It's not too late to do this. Since Melen has sent the news to the Counter-Investigation Bureau, we must act as soon as possible. Luna, you can admit that you have met Martinez in the dormitory and know that he wants Daisy's key. However, you must not say that you have met Daisy. The others are left to us."
"Mr. Hedland!"
Martinez was even more panicked. He stood up quickly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Hedland.
"Okay, Luna, you can leave, I'll do the rest."
Luna nodded and stood up, leaving Martinez without looking at him. Behind her, Martinez's unnamed gaze followed her until her eyes were cut off by the door.

Two days later, Gastens got Sink's report.
